A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
The EHR Healthcare team is setting the availability design target for the customer-facing systems that hospitals and insurance providers reach. What floor does the stated business requirement put on those systems?
Correct.
Concept
A published availability figure is a constraint on the design rather than an aspiration, and it has to hold at the weakest link in the serving path.
Why A
The business requirements list a minimum 99.9% availability for all customer-facing systems, next to faster provider onboarding, centralized visibility, lower latency and regulatory compliance.
